Wilmer Flores drives in 4 with 1B, HR, but rest of team goes 3-for-29, unable to climb out of 4-0 1st-inning hole.
Twenty one hours and 10 minutes elapsed between the last out of the Giants’ come-from-behind win Monday night and first pitch Tuesday.In their first chance on a clean slate since the Giants erupted for six runs in the ninth inning Monday night, the Angels foiled manager Gabe Kapler’s opener strategy with a four-run first inning that, returning to their light-hitting ways for much of the night, they were unable to climb out of in a 7-5 loss.
The Giants mustered only three hits besides Flores’ and came up empty — seven total no-hit innings — between Flores’ two-RBI single that capped a three-run rally in the third inning and Patrick Bailey’s single to put a man on for Flores’ two-run shot in the eighth. Extending his on-base streak to a career-high 19 games, Flores went 2-for-3, but the rest of the lineup combined to go 3-for-29 .
The Giants trailed 4-0 after the first inning, after the Angels strung together five hits against opener Scott Alexander and Jakob Junis, who entered after Alexander failed to retire any of the three batters he faced. The decision to open with a lefty in Alexander gave them the favorable matchup against Shohei Ohtani, but it also flipped switch-hitting leadoff man Luis Rengifo around to his strong side , and both batters beat Alexander, who allowed all three batters he faced to reach base and score.
